Caribbean Report 16-10-1995
In this special edition, Caribbean Report examines what has changed from 1963 to 1995 as hundred of thousands of black men gather on Washington for the Million Man March. The march was organized by the Nation of Islam to affirm self-respect and protest the conditions faced by black America. Yvette Collymore reports on the size and mood of the crowds in Washington. A number of prominent black Americans address the rally. Joe Nazel of Los Angeles Wave newspaper and Karl Rodney, editor of New York's Carib News newspaper comment on the impact the march is having outside of Washington. Hilary Beckles, Professor at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, comments on the significance of this march for the Caribbean. The Nation of Islam also made a call for black women to stay at home which has led to a range of reactions. Dr. Julianne Malreaux, a black economist comments that there were some women who rejected this call. New York City Councilwoman Una Clarke comments on what the follow up to this momentum would be. The final word goes to the organizer of the march, Louis Farrakhan as he indicates where he sees this event leading.
